Life took him down many paths of adventure and misadventure. He lived and loved as best he could. Mac used his considerable artistic creativity and talent in woodworking to make art carvings, carpentry, wooden boats, rocking horses and whatever he could fashion with the materials and tools he had at hand. Mac also loved music and his guitar and wrote many songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mac is predeceased by his father Alastair (2007), mother Monta (2010) and his beloved daughter Naomi Rachel Locke-Souter (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mac is survived by his sisters Nikki Logan (John), Lisa Hambrock (Martin) and Teri Souter (Benn Metcalfe). Mac is lovingly remembered by nephews and nieces Eyan, Jessica, Sarah, Juliana and Isaac, and many friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are grateful to the many people who helped Mac throughout his life, most recently the social and medical practitioners in Campbell River, Nanaimo and Vancouver. Mac\u2019s family also extends deep gratitude to the many people who assisted them in many ways during this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There will be a private family repatriation at a future date. If wished, donations in Mac\u2019s memory would be appropriately directed to Canadian Mental Health Association Muskoka at <a href=\"https:\/\/mps.cmha.ca\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">https:\/\/mps.cmha.ca\/<\/span><\/a> or alcohol and addictions outreach in your local area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rest in Peace in the harmony of the spheres, baby brother.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September 30, 1961 \u2013 June 6, 2024 It is with deep sadness and great love that the family of Mac Souter announce his passing, with family by his side, on [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1904,"featured_media":156154,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-156153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-obituaries"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
